100+ workers arrested for not having the proper papers on the 20th Century Fox site. That won't help construction progress.

Any recent photo updates? There must be so much more to see now.

Any new pictures? Anything going vertical?

Seriously, before they even think about completing the theme park, get those hotels renovated!! As well as the surrounding areas, it's worse than some budget hotels I've seen!

Not sure if this is worse news or just confirming what we all know from the pictures.

Japanese brokerage Nomura says completion of 20th Century Fox World Malaysia – a theme park being developed at Genting Malaysia Bhd’s hillside casino resort outside Kuala Lumpur – “will not happen before end-2017”.

Nomura added that the expected capital cost for the Malaysian theme park alone was around a quarter of the total revamp budget, or MYR2 billion to MYR2.5 billion, although it said that was “not an extraordinary amount” by the standards of modern theme parks.

“We believe that the increase in capital expenditure is not necessarily a negative from a strategic perspective: Genting is likely to continue to generate strong operating cash flow [annually] from the Malaysia operation, of MYR2 billion,” said the analysts.

Any update on this?

Genting Malaysia Bhd will increase total capital investment in the Genting Integrated Tourism Plan (GITP) from RM5 billion, as announced earlier, to an estimated RM10.38 billion.

GITP is a major 10-year master plan launched in December 2013 for the redevelopment and transformation of Resorts World Genting, the internationally-acclaimed integrated resort, which is currently being carried out in phases.

"It will offer an extensive and wide array of new and exciting entertainment options, unique to visitors from across the region," Genting Malaysia said in a filing to Bursa Malaysia today.

The capital investment under phase one of the GITP would increase from RM4 billion to RM8.11 billion.

Under this phase, the first-ever world class branded Twentieth Century Fox World theme park would see a substantial increase in investment with more spectacular, thrilling and state-of-the-art rides than previously announced.

"Total investment in the Twentieth Century Fox World theme park is expected to exceed RM2 billion.

"With the engagement of some of the best talent in the Hollywood movie-industry to help in the design of the park, this is targeted to become a unique and compelling world-class theme park," it added. – Bernama, February 23, 2016.

The budget for the upgrading of Genting Highlands has been doubled. The theme park investment alone will now exceed USD 470 million compared to USD 300 million announced previously.
